Scotland Yard detectives have interviewed Russell Brand for a second time over allegations of sexual offences, it is understood. Brand was interviewed under caution at a police station in south London in November in relation to three non-recent alleged sexual offences, it is believed, and has been interviewed under caution again in relation to six further non-recent alleged sexual offences. The Metropolitan police did not name Brand, but in response to questions a spokesperson said: “A man in his 40s attended a police station in south London on Thursday 14 December for a second time. He was interviewed under caution by detectives in relation to a further six non-recent sexual offences.” The Met confirmed that the same man attended a police station on Thursday 16 November for questioning. It is understood he has now been questioned in relation to nine alleged offences and police inquiries are continuing. Brand, 48, has denied “very serious criminal allegations” and “extremely egregious and aggressive attacks”, which he said he “absolutely refutes”. A joint investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches and the Sunday Times into Brand reported in September that four women alleged he had sexually assaulted them at the height of his career between 2006 and 2013, when he was a BBC and Channel 4 presenter and a Hollywood actor. Brand has said his relationships were “always consensual”. Last month the BBC said after a review that five complaints had been made about Brand’s behaviour while he hosted BBC radio shows between 2006 and 2008. In September the Met said that after the Dispatches and Sunday Times investigation it had “received a number of allegations of sexual offences in London. We have also received a number of allegations of sexual offences committed elsewhere in the country and will investigate these. The offences are all non-recent.” Channel 4 is conducting its own internal investigation. Another company, Banijay UK, has also commissioned an investigation. Endemol, the production company behind shows on which Brand appeared in the mid-00s such as Big Brother’s Big Mouth, was bought by Banijay in 2020. Brand has been approached for comment.
